Frank Ocean Opens Up About His Sexuality

"I feel like a free man"

Frank Ocean has just posted a statement on his Tumblr in which he appears to reveal that he is bisexual or gay. In the piece, which he says was supposed to accompany the liner notes for Channel Orange, he admits to having fallen in love with a man. It closes with, "I feel like a free man. If I listen closely.. I can hear the sky falling too."

Although the language is vague, it nonetheless marks a very brave step. Frank Ocean's crew, Odd Future, have been criticized for their virulent anti-gay lyrics, although Syd the Kyd, the group's sole female member, is an out lesbian.

BASEDGOD WAS RIGHT. we're all a bunch of golden million dollar babies. my hope is that the babies born these days will inherit less of the bullshit than we did. anyhow, what i'm about to post is for anyone who cares to read. it was intended to fill the thank you's section in my album credits, but with all the rumors going round.. i figured it'd be good to clarify...
